Trudeau says he regrets calling Ottawa protesters ‘a fringe minority’

Following the report from the Public Order Emergency Commission on his government’s use of the Emergencies Act, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he regrets calling Ottawa protesters “a fringe minority.” Trudeau said he wished he had “phrased that differently” but added that there is a subsection of Canadians who continue to spread misinformation and disinformation that has led to the deaths of Canadians and said he continues “to be very, very firm against those individuals.”
